Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Developmentally Disabled Centers, Disabilities, Foster Care, Human Services
Mission: Ucp seguin believes that all people, regardless of ability, deserve to achieve their potential, advance their independence and act as full members of the community. So we stop at nothing to provide life skills training, assistive technology, meaningful employment, and a place to call home for people with disabilities, as well as specialized foster care for children. Our goal: life without limits for people with disabilities.
Programs: Community integrated living arrangements are small community-based homes where participants live and socialize as others in the community do. Home arrangements vary based on the level of support needed by the participants, and include the shift-staff model; the shared living or live-in manager model; and the intermittent model with drop-in staff assistance.
children's foster care program provides nurturing support to children and adolescents from birth through 21 years of age. The program includes specialized care for children with behavior or medical challenges, as well as traditional foster care and aftercare services. This program focuses on permanent placement in a stable adoptive or family home after foster care services end.
developmental/life skills training addresses the physical and mental health, self-esteem, social activity and vocational needs of adults with developmental disabilities of all ages. Ucp seguin offers these essential services in several locations across the greater chicago area. Our staff provides participants with a full range of beneficial activities to aid in their employability and personal growth, including exercise therapy, music, art and movement therapy, horticultural therapy, daily living skills enhancement, safety skills training, life experience classes, and assistance with self-advocacy.
